Austrian Winter Vacation | European Christmas Markets | Budapest Travel Photography

Roosevelt Island Engagement Session | Washington DC Engagement Photos | Elise and Jarrett

Last week, I did something sort of insane. I went to Italy for a week in the middle of wedding season… completely alone. I know, crazy. In fact, I turned down THREE weddings in order to take this trip. For weeks beforehand, I debated whether or not to even go. Truth be told, I was exhausted before leaving for Florence. I run 2 independent businesses, have 19 weddings booked in 2017 and 20 already booked for 2018. After debating staying in bed for a full week instead, I grabbed my passport and decided to head for Europe.

I met this couple right here a few months ago. I was assisting on a shoot and it turned out that they were going to be in France at the exact same time I was! What are the odds! Shane and Julie are wonderful hearts with smiles that won’t quit. They share a home together with their sweet puppy dog Taco and have a life of adventure and entrepreneurship. Julie runs Sand Piper and Co and is involved in all kinds of darling wedding projects.
